Warhounds Ink Veteran Foward Ethan Esposito
Gaylord, Michigan-The Northern Michigan Warhounds have added another proven offensive weapon to their roster with the signing of forward Ethan Esposito.
The 23-year-old winger arrives in Northern Michigan following a productive professional season with the Indiana Sentinels of the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL), where he recorded 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 48 games during the 2025-26 campaign.
A native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Esposito brings a combination of skill, strength, and experience to the Warhounds lineup. At 5-foot-11 and 201 pounds, the left-shot forward is capable of playing either wing and has proven he can contribute offensively while competing against professional talent.
Before beginning his professional career, Esposito built an impressive résumé at Sault College, where he developed into one of the program's top offensive players. His collegiate success translated quickly to the professional ranks, and he became a key contributor for the expansion Indiana Sentinels throughout the 2025-26 season.
Esposito's addition continues the Warhounds' commitment to bringing experienced, high-character players into the organization. His ability to generate offense, play a physical game, and compete in all situations gives Northern Michigan another valuable piece as the club prepares for the upcoming season.
With professional experience already under his belt and a proven ability to produce at multiple levels, Esposito is expected to provide immediate depth and scoring ability as the Warhounds continue assembling one of the most competitive rosters in franchise history.
